In our relativist world, one persons rights expansion is another persons ban. In other words: only one side can win. Some things are mutually exclusive. If we do not define marriage clearly, then we have banned a clear definition of marriage; or put differently, we have banned the traditional view of marriage. Even if some places allow it, the federal view would be that marriage does not matter enough to defend its traditional meaning.

All the left has done is exactly what I have described. We promote an amendment to DEFINE marriage as it has been defined by every human civilization that has ever existed (it took the nutcases of today to decide it needed redefining from its clear correlation to natural design) and they have decide to REDEFINE our amendment. Call them the redefinition patrol. Of course, defining marriage with clarity (again, something never needed until the redefiners came along) could be construed as banning absolutely ANYTHING that does not fit the definition. Maybe it's the BAN POLYGAMY AMENDMENT. It could be called the BAN INTER-SPECIES AMENDMENT. Anything really.

We've got to start calling these jokers on their symantic games. They've taken their relativism to new heights. Now they can't even find the meaning of long understood words -- so much so that the rational among us must promote defining constitutional amendments. It's pitiful that it has come to this.

Let's just accuse them of wanting to ban dictionaries.
